I know it has been forever since I have blogged and life has been busy. Some great things and some really sad thing. I thought I would put up a bunch of pictures from the past few months to show how our family is growing soooo fast!!
We had everyone together for Christmas except Steve, and he was able to call on Christmas day and talk to everyone and even listen while Ian and Brinley opened their presents. We really miss him but are sooo proud of him and how he is serving our country. The kids had a gingerbread house contest and you can see a few of the finished results. We could not pick a winner. For Christmas Eve dinner we had prime rib and salmon (Andrea fixed the salmon) and it was all yummy.
On December 20 Miss Mady turned two and we had a LARGE party for her at their home. I can't believe how quickly they grow.
Most of these pictures are from the luncheon for Dad's funeral or during the days around it. I don't know how people without the gospel can make it through such sad times and the loss of someone so close but I know how greatful I am for my knowledge and the comfort it brings. It was wonderful having Steve home for the funeral and the two weeks following it. We got to spend lots of time together and even gave Steve and Brit a couple of days by themselves. We are so grateful for all of our family support, both local and from Missouri!!! You guys are what helps us get through it. We love and miss you all. I will try to do better about posting more often.
